I Stand Amazed

Parents and Students,

A few years ago Chris Tomlin revamped the old hymn "I Stand Amazed" and as I reflect on this past Monday's Youth Night I stand amazed. I want to thank Bro. Mickey for bringing Ed Newton and the Orchard praise team to Golden Central. It was AWESOME. The band was great and it was good to meet up with Rick and Dena Pike again. Ed's message was "on spot" for our people young and old.

I want to thank my Adult Student Team and other volunteers for helping with drinks, serving pizza, setting up extra tables and chairs, and cleaning up afterwards. I want to say a big "thank you" to all the students who stepped up and promoted the event. The Lord blessed us with a great turn out and it was a huge witness to our faith family and to the community. You ROCK!

I also want to thank the leadership of Belmont High School for allowing Ed, Mac, and I the opportunity to hangout with the students during one of the lunch breaks. It is amazing how a high-five, a pat on the back, and a hello will encourage others. Our young people need to know that there are adults that care for them. If people know you care they will care about the message you want to share. Love God Love People.

Be Blessed,

SB
